WE ARE DELIGHTED TO RECEIVE A CONSIGNMENT OF NEW WORK FROM LEADING WESTERN DESERT ART CENTRE WARAKURNA.

‘Warakurna Artists is a 100% indigenous owned and governed art centre located close to the Great Central Road in the Ngaanyatjarra Lands of Western Australia. The art centre provides services to artists living in and visiting Warakurna, Wanarn & Patjarr communities through a range of programs designed to support artists at all stages of their careers.

Warakurna Artists was founded in 2005 and quickly established itself as an energetic community enterprise, focused on the preservation of Ngaanyatjarra culture & Tjukurrpa through the practice of painting. Although painting is the primary activity, the art centre is also an integrated community asset that provides services beyond the reach of the studio, including the facilitation of trips on country, social advocacy & local employment. Warakurna Artists is renowned for its expressive & contemporary Western Desert style and its continuity with history and tradition.’

WE HAVE ALSO TAKEN THIS OPPORTUNITY TO REVISIT EARLIER WARAKURNA WORKS FROM THE GALLERY STOCKROOM, INCLUDING STRONG WORKS BY NOLA CAMPBELL YURNANGURNA AND NEVILLE MCARTHUR. WE HOPE YOU ENJOY THE PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU TO THE ARTISTS AND WARAKUERNA FOR THE OPPORTUNITY.
